(some) (Both) humans and dogs love
to play well into adulthood, and individuals from both species
occasionally display evidence of having a conscience.

We all leave some kind of a legacy,
whether we intend to or not; whether we want to or not and no matter
how we might scheme and connive to have the record altered, expunged or rendered
harmless to us while we are still here, our efforts are in vain. If
justice and judgment do not find us here, they will find us
elsewhere. One of the biggest illusions presently going in the world
of today is that one can become too powerful to touch or too big to
fail. That is especially false in this particular time period; the
apocalypse at the transiting cusp of the Aquarian Age. We are in that
time that can be best defined as, “out with the old and in with the
new.”

Our legacies develop over time and
they can be complex and contradictory, when viewed from different
angles and at different times, and one can definitely come to
different conclusions, depending on one's perspective. Let us state
for the purposes of argument that you are either a believer in the
existence of the divine or an atheist. That would certainly color the
way you see things. It would affect your areas of inquiry and it
could certainly affect the way you speak and act. I will not imply
that atheists are, as a rule, people of questionable morality. You
can find scoundrels and hypocrites on both sides of the fence and
many atheists like to present themselves as individuals of high moral
character just to show that you don't need god to be a decent human
being.

I've put some study into the
workings of the minds of atheists and nearly without exception, it
comes down to opinions formed on the subject of religion and only
incidentally has it got anything to do with the divine. Most of the
time, those denying the existence of a supreme being are under the
influence of Bitch Materialism and it has something do do with the
need to displace the supreme authority with one's own personal
authority. We've heard the term, 'ego trip'. This qualifies as one of
the most unfortunate expressions of the type because the power to do
anything comes from the source of all power. This specifically means
all things good, all things bad and all of the chiaroscuro shades of
gray in between.

Nothing I say here has to do with
presumptions or assumptions on my part. Any astute student of
metaphysics knows that these points are proven and pretty much
everything else said here is taken from long standing traditions,
stated in enduring scriptures, handed down over the course of time
and ultimately sourced from those divinely inspired oracles, known as
'the rishis'. Everything we know of true religion and spiritual
teachings, comes from these legendary teachers. They may have arrived
to us through different vehicles but any and all of it comes from the
same place. Whatever the rishis had came from the same place. There
is one source for it all. Argue, if you like. Dance with the angels
on the head of a pin, if you like. Spin convoluted philosophical
theorems that put you in a profound intellectual light, if you like.
Dress up in ridiculous robes and funny hats and rule the false light
of the world with a scepter of darkness, if you like. It matters not
and comes to no eternal place or state of being. It's just chatter.
It's the voices in the wind of hungry ghosts and sundry, who imagined
that they would find that desirable thing; “the most fabulous
object in the world” by the force of their own borrowed will and
borrowed powers. It is the same sad, perpetuating tale that has come
down the ages for long, long beyond the grasp of recorded history.

All of these impostors and poseurs
become aged and enfeebled in their time. All those magicians who
convinced themselves that they had found the keys of Solomon, wind up
like Crowley who said, near the end of his life, with his magic wand
gathering dust on a shelf, “I am perplexed.” He's still got
thousands and thousands of followers around the world, as deluded but
not nearly as accomplished as he was.

He left his legacy. We all do. In
most cases that legacy is very short lived, scarcely longer than the
presently green leaves on the trees that in a few months will be
blown down the sidewalks and into the gutters, or fall upon the
forest floors, to be later covered by the leaves of the following
season, as they in their turn will also be covered and then rendered
back into earth. The meanest of life forms work within that process
of returning those leaves and other formerly living forms back into
fertile earth. The worms and other sightless creatures crawl in and
out of the eye holes of the skulls of the forgotten.

Solomon, allegedly, possessed not
only a great deal of wisdom but also knowledge and command of
invisible forces. He knew that he was going to die on a Saturday and
because of this, he began to spend the entire day in prayer. It is to
be presumed that he knew the lord would not claim him under those
conditions. So, the lord, being ever perspicacious, sent an angel to
distract him and that was it. Ah... the things you can discover, when
you read the secret histories that bear so little resemblance to the
manufactured garbage that bears so little resemblance to the truth.

Most everyone has heard of St.
Augustine when you think about sinners who became saints but there
are many examples. Here's a little anecdotal tale; “At age 12, the
future St. Mary (c.344-c.421) ran away from home to Alexandria, the
most exciting city in the Roman Empire. She became an accomplished
seductress, who took special pleasure in corrupting innocent young
men. Once, on a whim, she joined a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. By
the time the ship reached its destination, Mary had seduced the
entire crew and all of the pilgrims. In Jerusalem she realized the
enormity of her sins, went to confession, then spent the rest of her
life as a hermit in the desert.” There are plenty more and this is
just from the Christian end. If you take the trouble to explore the
subject, you will find that examples proliferate through every faith.
This brings me back to, “Be ye hot or cold. If you are lukewarm, I
will spew you out of my mouth.”

These are all legacies. They are
also examples for the purpose of demonstration to remind you that it
is never too late until it is too late and it might not even be too
late then either. I don't want to set hard parameters because...
fundamentally, I don't know.

When I was 16, I remember being in a
library and at that time I was going through the works of Aldous
Huxley and others that I no longer presently remember. I had one of those “ah
ha!” moments It entered into my mind that these writers were
leaving footprints for me and that we all leave footprints and that
the best possible motive is to leave good footprints because we are
all leading someone somewhere, just as we are being led. We all
influence each other for good or ill and sometimes it is hard to tell
the difference until the results set in. The results are our legacy
and sometimes, as evidenced by those great sinners who became great
saints, our legacy can travel over strange landscapes, once again for
the purpose of demonstration and inspiration. It is really inspiring
to note that there are those who have fallen to depths that we have
not and will not approach and... that have risen to heights beyond
anything we presently know and... that all of this is possible for
any one of us.

I write this posting today to
encourage us all to forget about past failings, no matter how
grievous we might imagine them to be. We measure everyone, ourselves
included, according to our own imperfect standards. Only the
ineffable knows what anything means and what is really going on. We
just make it up as we go along, based on our own collection of
victories and injuries. It's a totally subjective merry go round and
it confines us within the borders of our assumptions about what is
right and what is wrong. We don't really know anything. We only know
that which we have convinced ourselves of. In every stage of our
lives our perspectives are altered. It's a slow process that is
driven by our experiences and the judgments we make on them, or have
made on them through the pressure of social conformity that we feel
obliged to conform to. One day the hawk is on the wing and then the
snow falls. One day we look around us at the budding plants and we
note that spring has arrived. We never seem able to demarcate the
actual moment of change. Of course, occasionally something really
dramatic happens and we are changed in an instant, like Paul on the
road to Damascus. The whole world is on the doorstep of just such an
event at this time. This is not to say that the whole world will
advantage itself of this tremendous opportunity. Time will tell and
we shall see ...but it's here.

One day we are young and one day we
are old. The young mock the old and the old resent the young upon
whom youth is wasted. So much is wasted so often and over such a
length of time. That is a legacy too. I wasted a lot of time, or else
I convinced myself I did but it's not the country you passed through.
It's the land you arrived in. I think something similar got said here
very recently. Leave a fine legacy. Follow a greater legacy than your
own.

Last week's video radio broadcast is now up and tomorrow's radio show will be up tomorrow evening. Once again I apologize for having to clear my throat so often. This
happens when I have to record early in the day and that is often the
case due to my present location; at least as far as 'live' goes.
